Ever since he was a child, Radley Haddad has been passionate about baseball.
Born and raised in Indiana, Radley started playing when he was six years old with his friends in their backyard. He played travel ball in high school and soon started his baseball career at West Carolina University, where he played for two years before transferring to Butler University.
And eventually, after a ton of hard work, Radley got an opportunity to play in the Minor Leagues with the New York Yankees and, after his fourth season, became the team’s Major League Coaching Assistant & Bullpen Catcher.
Radley joins me today to share his experiences with the New York Yankees. He illustrates his daily routines and responsibilities as a coach and bullpen catcher and the challenges he faced while transitioning from playing the game to coaching athletes.
Radley defines what advanced scouting is and how it helps the team win. He differentiates the two types of evaluation and highlights their importance. And finally, he reveals why athletes should be their own best coach and the impact of self-evaluation.
Once you figure out what makes you successful, that’s when you can take off as a coach or player. Being your own best coach depends on being a good self-evaluator. – Radley Haddad
